A delicious & succulent mutton recipe made with aromatic spices....found this incredibly recipe from a magazine many years back, cooked umpteen times & goes well with parathas....Tender mutton cooked in coconut milk & spices..... you can either cook it with thick gravy or cook it dry till all the gravy is reduced & the fat from the coconut milk is left in the bottom of the pan creating a light sweet & spicy taste.... the effort is beyond worth it :)
